XXXXXXXXXXXXXIMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To avoid the danger of fire

The microwave oven should not be left

unattended during operation. Power

levels that are too high or cooking times

that are too long may overheat foods

resulting in a fire.

The electrical outlet must be readily accessible so

that the unit can be unplugged easily in an

emergency.

The AC power supply must be 230 V, 50 Hz, with

a minimum 16 A distribution line fuse, or a

minimum 16 A distribution circuit breaker.

It is recommended that a separate circuit serving

only this appliance be provided.

Do not store or use the oven outdoors.

If food being heated begins to smoke,

DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR. Turn off and

unplug the oven and wait until the food

has stopped smoking. Opening the door

while food is smoking may cause a fire.

Only use microwave-safe containers and

utensils. See Page 20.

Do not leave the oven unattended when

using disposable plastic, paper or other

combustible food containers.

Clean the waveguide cover, the oven

cavity and the turntable after use. These

must be dry and free from grease. Built-

up grease may overheat and begin to

smoke or catch fire.

Do not place flammable materials near the oven or

ventilation openings. Do not block the ventilation

openings.

Remove all metallic seals, wire twists, etc., from

food and food packages. Arcing on metallic

surfaces may cause a fire.

Do not use the microwave oven to heat oil for deep

frying. The temperature cannot be controlled and

the oil may catch fire.

To make popcorn, only use special microwave

popcorn makers.

Do not store food or any other items inside the

oven.

Check the settings after you start the oven to ensure

the oven is operating as desired.

To avoid the possibility of injury

WARNING:

Do not operate the oven if it is damaged or

malfunctioning. Check the following before use:

a)The door; make sure the door closes properly

and ensure it is not misaligned or warped.

b)The hinges and door safety latches; check to

make sure they are not broken or loose.

c)The door seals and sealing surfaces; ensure

that they have not been damaged.

d)Inside the oven cavity or on the door; make

sure there are no dents.

e)The power supply cord and plug; ensure that

they are not damaged.

Never adjust , repair or modify the oven

yourself. It is hazardous for anyone

other than a competent person to carry

out any service or repair operation

which involves the removal of a cover

which gives protection against exposure

to microwave energy.

Do not operate the oven with the door open or

alter the door safety latches in any way.

Do not operate the oven if there is an object

between the door seals and sealing surfaces.

Do not allow grease or dirt to build up

on the door seals and adjacent parts.

Follow the instructions for “Care and

Cleaning” on page 34. Failure to

maintain the oven in a clean condition

could lead to a deterioration of the

surface that could adversely affect the

life of the appliance and possibly result

in a hazardous situation.

Individuals with PACEMAKERS should check with

their doctor or the manufacturer of the pacemaker

for precautions regarding microwave ovens.

To avoid the possibility of electric shock

Under no circumstances should you remove the

outer cabinet.

Never spill or insert any objects into the door lock

openings or ventilation openings. In the event of a

spill, turn off and unplug the oven immediately and

call an authorised ZANUSSI service agent.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Pierce the skin of such foods as potatoes, sausages

and fruit before cooking, or they may explode.

To avoid the possibility of burns

Use pot holders or oven gloves when removing

food from the oven to prevent burns.

Always open containers, popcorn makers, oven

cooking bags, etc., away from the face and hands

to avoid steam burns.

To avoid burns, always test food

temperature and stir before serving and

pay special attention to the temperature

of food and drink given to babies,

children or the elderly.

Temperature of the container is not a true indication

of the temperature of the food or drink; always

check the food temperature.

Always stand back from the oven door when

opening, to avoid burns from escaping steam and

heat.

Slice stuffed baked foods after heating to release

steam and avoid burns.

Keep children away from the door to prevent them

burning themselves.

Do not touch the oven door, outer cabinet, rear

cabinet, oven cavity, ventilation openings,

accessories and dishes during GRILL mode,

CONVECTION mode, DUAL mode, AUTO

COOK and AUTO COOK FROM FROZEN

operation as they will become hot. Before

cleaning make sure they are not hot.

To avoid misuse by children

WARNING: Only allow children to use

the oven without supervision when

adequate instructions have been given

so that the child is able to use the oven

in a safe way and understands the

hazards of improper use.

Do not lean or swing on the oven door. Do not

play with the oven or use it as a toy.

Children should be taught all important safety

instructions: use of pot holders, careful removal of

food coverings; paying special attention to

packaging (e.g. self-heating materials) designed to

make food crisp, as they may be extra hot.

Do not allow the power supply cord to run over

any hot or sharp surfaces, such as the hot air vent

area at the top rear of the oven.

Do not attempt to replace the oven lamp yourself or

allow anyone who is not authorised by ZANUSSI

to do so. If the oven lamp fails, please consult your

dealer or an authorised ZANUSSI service agent.

If the power supply cord of this appliance is

damaged, it must be replaced with a special cord.

The exchange must be made by an authorised

ZANUSSI service agent.

To avoid the possibility of explosion and

sudden boiling:

WARNING: Liquids and other foods must

not be heated in sealed containers since

they are liable to explode.

Never use sealed containers. Remove seals and

lids before use. Sealed containers can explode due

to a build up of pressure even after the oven has

been turned off.

Take care when microwaving liquids. Use a wide-

mouthed container to allow bubbles to escape.

Microwave heating of beverages can

result in delayed eruptive boiling,

therefore care has to be taken when

handling the container.

To prevent sudden eruption of boiling liquid and

possible scalding:

1. Stir liquid prior to heating/reheating.

2. It is advisable to insert a glass rod or similar

utensil into the liquid whilst reheating.

3. Let liquid stand in the oven at the end of

cooking time to prevent delayed eruptive

boiling.

Do not cook eggs in their shells, and

whole hard boiled eggs should not be

heated in microwave ovens since they

may explode even after microwave

cooking has ended. To cook or reheat

eggs which have not been scrambled or

mixed, pierce the yolks and the whites,

or the eggs may explode. Shell and slice

hard boiled eggs before reheating them

in the microwave oven.

900 W used for fast cooking or reheating e.g.

soup, casseroles, canned food, hot beverages,

vegetables, fish, etc.

630 W used for longer cooking of dense foods such

as roast joints, meat loaf and plated meals, also for

sensitive dishes such as cheese sauce and sponge

cakes. At this reduced setting, the sauce will not boil

over and food will cook evenly without over cooking

at the sides.

450 W for dense foods which require a long

cooking time when cooked conventionally, eg. beef

dishes, it is advisable to use this power setting to

ensure the meat will be tender.

270 W (Defrost setting) to defrost, select this

power setting, to ensure that the dish defrosts

evenly. This setting is also ideal for simmering rice,

pasta, dumplings and cooking egg custard.

90 W for gentle defrosting, eg. cream gateaux or

pastry.

WHAT ARE MICROWAVES?

THIS IS WHAT YOUR NEW COMBINATION

MICROWAVE OVEN CAN DO

Like radio and television waves, microwaves are

electromagnetic waves.

Microwaves are produced by a magnetron inside

the microwave oven, and these vibrate the

molecules of water present in the food. The friction

this causes produces heat, which ensures that the

food is defrosted, heated or cooked through.

The secret of the reduced cooking times is the fact

that the microwaves penetrate the food from every

direction. Energy is used to the full. In comparison,

the energy from a conventional hob passes from

the burner through the pan and so to the food.

This method wastes a great deal of energy.

THE CHARACTERISTICS OF MICROWAVES

Microwaves penetrate all non-metal objects made

of glass, china, earthenware, plastic, wood or

paper. This is why the microwaves never make

these materials hot. Dishes become hot only

because the food inside them is hot.

The food absorbs the microwaves and is heated.

Microwaves cannot pass through objects made of

metal and so they are deflected. For this reason

metal objects are not normally suitable for

microwave cookery.

There are exceptions where you can actually make

use of the fact that the microwaves cannot pass

through metal. If you cover food with aluminium foil

at specific points while it is defrosting or cooking,

you can prevent those parts from getting too warm,

too hot, or overcooked. Please check out the

advice given in the guide.

MICROWAVE OPERATION

By using the microwave facility in your new

combination microwave oven you can, for

example, quickly heat up ready-prepared meals or

drinks, or melt butter or chocolate in no time at all.

The microwave oven is equally good at defrosting

food. Sometimes, however, it is better to combine

the microwave with convection heating or grilling

(combined operation). You can then cook the food

rapidly and brown it at the same time. Cooking

times are generally much shorter than in

conventional food preparation.

COMBINED OPERATION

(MICROWAVE OPERATION WITH

CONVECTION OR GRILL)

By combining two modes of operation the benefits

of your oven are cleverly linked together.

You are able to choose between

• microwave + convection (ideal for joints of

meat, poultry, puddings, bread and cakes) and

• microwave + grill (ideal for pizzas, snacks,

quick fry-ups, joints, poultry, chicken legs,

kebabs, Welsh rarebit and cooking au gratin).

Using the combination facility you can cook and

brown food at the same time.

The advantage is that the convected heat or the

heat from the grill quickly seals the pores in the

outer layers of the food. The microwaves ensure a

short and gentle cooking period. The juices are

preserved inside the food and the outside is crisp.

CONVECTION OPERATION

You can also use convection without microwave.

The result is like using a conventional oven. The

circulating air quickly heats up the external parts

of the food without drying up the meat juices and

the foods.

This sealing process means that the meals remain

tasty and cook in a shorter time than with

conventional ovens with upper and lower heaters.

GRILL OPERATION

This appliance comes with a quartz grill above the

cooking area. It can be used as a conventional

grill without microwave. You can quickly bake or

grill dishes. It’s also suitable for steaks, chops and

cakes.
